Last year they did (accidently) for Cech at the start of the season

This year they've already done for Rooney (accidently of course)

And they have Chelski (maybe Drogba - accidently) this week  ................................    :knuppel2: :knuppel2:

Bloody dangerous things helicopters...

aal that thrashing around, noise & vibration

You don't see an Albatross doing that do you?

What a s*** thread

If Vic had started it it would have been locked within the minute.

I'm doing my best Alex (modestly)

maybe we'll send him out on loan...................... 

£ 10 million for insurance for 2-3 months............... 

I wouldn't put it past  them...........

and I suspect the Board would accept the money 'n aalll

lets be really revolutionary and go back to NO subs

that would help level the playing field bewteen clubs with loads of cash and dozens of good players and the less well off,

it would cut the amount of cash we spend on replica shirts

it would go back to the original idea of ELEVEN players a side not 18 , or 22 or 38 or 54

if you want to see subs F*** off and watch American Football

TBH another fullback is needed first

brings teasr to the eyes

Mad Sir Alex claimign they couldn't win as they "didn't have anyone to play central striker"

and this from a man who spent £ 50 million this year......................

carr looked short on pace yesterday for sure  .............   

aye well - he seems to be some sort of EXCEL/database guru - he posts on a lot of serious computing forii

with him and Bert Keiss  as your favourites you've got it all covered

It amazes me that there is all this fuss over Thaksin when they allow Ken bates to run a club.....................

I am a fund manager and have invested in equities in Asia and have to say, under Thaksin, Thailand was in better economical state and the country was far more investment friendly than the current dire state.  Many investors have concurred with me and hope that it can get itself together to return as one of the darling markets alongside China, Vietnam, India and Singapore. Yes I think he is corrupted but he made the country far more prosperous than it can be in its history...now it is just a shambles market to invest.

 

 

 

 

 

There are claims that Singapore's laundered money from Indonesia right after Suharto was overthrown. It's prosperous all right, but does that make everything that's wrong, right?

So what if Thaksin - or anyone, as a matter of fact - is corrupt, so long as he brings in the money, no?

 

I'm sorry, but if that's the prevailing attitude of the Premiership and its fans these days, then good luck, cos this is no longer a "beautiful game".

Singapore is many things but corruption is not one of them - they will sue you shitless for suggesting it AND make you turn up in court to show your  "evidence".  One of the reasons it IS sucessful is because its the only place in Asia that isn't corrupt

Thailand is something else ...... . and Indonesia is beyond hope

liar I'm afraid

You click on teh tab User Predictions for date range, selct a set of dates and stick in your guesswork

when you save it go to  the User table and see what it looks like

During the season up date the results with Enter results or Enter results for date range when you  clicky on the various tables they all update..........................

bump

lets see what its like if we get 5 defeats in a row.............

Nor should it. Free movement of people and labour is one of the main principles of the EU.

 

Like I said before - this is a football site, so I won't debate the EU with you here.

Suffice be it to say, I think it was the worst thing the UK ever did to join it - Britain is an outward-looking nation(or was), with links throughout the world.

There is not ONE thing that has been of major benefit to the country, and it costs the country billions evert year.

You have your view - I've got mine & thank goodness  I don't live there anymore..

if its so bad why did every political party and business want to join?

and why have they kept us in???

we still have the world-wide links (Afghanistan, Iraq, Falklands, Cyprus....) and are one of teh world's biggest exporters

what you mean is you don't want any change

My Jorman Friend - your english is pretty damn faultless but even the perfect can still improve

"You have simply to distinct:"

should be

"You simply have to distinguish......."

I'd love to see him frozen out so he had to move over to SAFC............... 

and teh Players Asoc doesn't liek foreigners coming in

you can't complain about no home bred talent if you allow everyone in

we went wrong soemwhere - a few years ago we had a load of talent (Dyer, Jenas, Chopra, teh Portuguese kid)

and yet none of them have really come through

aa blame Souness me'sel like

never liked him myself - grossly overrrated IMHO -  but I agree you can't fault him for effort

the other thing that  surprised me is that he's only 26 - he's been around so long I thought he was about 31

IF he works out there could be 6- 8 years of top flight football still ahead of him

unles we convert him to a CH I'm not sure why we spent £ 6 mm on another forward TBH

There is a basic problem here tho'

 

as supporters we want ALL the cash spent on the club but we also expect rich guys to put up money  - and then take nothing out

 

if I had £ 100 million in the club as an investment I'd want it to make at least 5% (and that is being very very generous)

 

thoughts?

 

the previous owners made ~500%, not counting the money they made on subsequently selling shares. So if Ashley is the same he'll be looking to take out £500m 

more! he's a better businessman than fat Fred
